psx.c use sched_yield instead of pthread_yield

Hi,

The man page for pthread_yield says to use sched_yield instead, and if you look at glibc implementation, it's just a wrapper around sched_yield (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=nptl/pthread_yield.c;h=57d103cb388a00a8a0f7c4ce6cccaa83744b2235;hb=HEAD)

This patch allows building 2.33 libcap using other libc's, like musl.

Thank you.
